Living with the Land

Living with the Land is part of The Land pavilion, and is one of the most educational attractions in any of the Walt Disney World parks. Once aboard one of the boats, you leisurely float through Disney World's cutting edge and experimental agriculture stations, learning abou the work going on in each. In the first greenhouse, you see crops of Southeast Asia; the second demonstrates aquaculture methods (farming seafood, essentially); the third focuses on sustainable farming methods for temperate climates; the fourth actually grows vegetables used in Epcot restaurants; the final greenhouse demonstrates experimental methods such as hydroponics and soilless growing techniques.

At this location: The attraction has essentially been in place since the park opened in October 1982.

The Attraction's History: Living with the Land was originally known as Listen to the Land from October 1, 1982 through September 27, 1993. At that time the ride underwent some minor modifications, adding the current storm scene and removing the theme song that gave the ride its original name. Though the crops and methods may change occasionally, the ride has remained essentially the same since.

Other Trivia:

Sponsors: Kraft Foods sponsored the Land pavilion from 1982 through 1992 and was quickly replaced by Nestle, the current sponsor.
